Fifa is contemplating a biennial schedule for the Club World Cup starting in 2029, a change that may deepen tensions with leagues like the Premier League and Uefa. The next Club World Cup will occur in four years after the first expanded tournament in the US. Prominent clubs, including Real Madrid and others, support this shift to gain access to lucrative financial opportunities. Current scheduling rules restrict tournament participation, and while 2027 plans are stagnant, the situation could change with future tournaments planned beyond 2029.
In a move reflecting growing pressure from leading clubs, Fifa will consider making the Club World Cup a biennial event starting in 2029, raising concerns about the international calendar.
Real Madrid and other leading clubs have proposed a two-year cycle for the Club World Cup, aiming to capitalize on the substantial revenue streams generated largely by Saudi Arabia's investments.
